"But this is Arsenal Football Club and they're becoming an also-run, an also-run".

First-half goals by Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Leroy Sane sealed the 3-0 victory for a rampant City side, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to convert a second-half penalty.

Guardiola said: "Mentally we were strong". "We needed at least to come in level at half-time but City took advantage of our lack of confidence".

The Nigerian worldwide, who is set for his 21st appearance this season in the EPL, is optimistic the Blues can get a positive result despite losing 2-1 last weekend to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Still, it's an fantastic result for us. "The season is nearly over and there's only a few games left to play".

They are six points ahead of rivals Rangers as they try to wrap up their seventh consecutive league title. "We are in the situation where first we need to win the next game rather than do the calculations". But even though the save wasn't so crucial for the result, the Brazilian goalkeeper keeps showing his great attributes in his first Premier League year. I had space on my left foot and I cut in and shot. "We want to win the league as fast as we can". "We want to focus on the next game and continue to put in the effort we put in tonight", he told Sky Sports.

"You always have to have something to let the players know we are not good enough".

The issue is that for the Gunners' attacking unit to make it into the City team, it would mean that Pep Guardiola's best players would have to miss out.
